Whitewashed Weekender Ripe with Rustic Chandeliers

Originally built in the 1990s, an outdated cottage on Lake Vernon was transformed into a stylish lakefront home with the help of Muskoka Custom Cottages.

Looking for a place to gather a large, grown family, these homeowners opted to work with the existing structure rather than rebuild. They started by resealing the original whitewashed pine walls and ceilings, giving them a fresh coat of Simply White by Benjamin Moore, and refinished the original fir and elm floors.
